Snapshot · The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
Data shows fathers are performing a larger share of domestic work and childcare than at any previously recorded point, directly contradicting the narrative that men are getting worse as partners.

Scott introduces one of the episode's most arresting data points: a 30-point ideological gap between young men and women that has opened in both the US and Germany within just six years [1] — John Burn-Murdoch "The media narrative says young men are radicalising right. The data says the opposite: young men haven't moved. Young women have shifted dr…" 32:32 . Burn-Murdoch explains the mechanism: TikTok and similar platforms feed young men and young women almost entirely different content clusters, including political content that nudges each group in different directions without ever being explicitly partisan. This doesn't require anyone to radicalise — just consistent, differential exposure. The pattern holds across the US, Germany, South Korea, and the UK, making social media the obvious common variable. Burn-Murdoch then delivers the data correction that lands hardest: the popular narrative — that the divide reflects young men drifting rightward toward figures like Andrew Tate — is wrong. Young men have not become more conservative in most countries. The entire movement comes from young women shifting significantly left. Scott adds that this is particularly counterproductive for birth rates, because the data also shows today's fathers are doing more domestic work than at any previously recorded point — meaning men are objectively better partners, but the prevailing online narrative says the opposite [2] — John Burn-Murdoch "Fathers doing more domestic work than ever: Data shows fathers are performing a larger share of domestic work and childcare than at any pre…" 37:51 .
A 30-point ideological gap between young men and women opened in both the US and Germany in just six years, with young women moving significantly left while young men largely stayed put.
The media narrative says young men are radicalising right. The data says the opposite: young men haven't moved. Young women have shifted dramatically to the left, and social media's algorithmic segregation — showing men and women entirely different content — is the most plausible explanation.
John Burn-Murdoch's data shows that in most countries young men have not become more conservative; the gender political divide is almost entirely explained by young women moving significantly further left.
Greenberg's research mapped all human intrinsic values and found they cluster into 22 categories, including longevity, connection, nature, and spirituality.
Performing composure is not the same as having composure — emotionally sensitive people who suppress their feelings are acting a role, not resolving the underlying feeling.
Emotional sensitivity is the raw input signal and emotional intelligence is the cultivated output — meaning sensitivity is a prerequisite for high EQ, not an obstacle to it.
Men who appear emotionally avoidant are frequently emotionally sensitive individuals who were never given tools or permission to explore their sensitivity, so they default to withdrawal.
Being ghosted is particularly damaging for sensitive people because their brain doesn't interpret it as the relationship ending — it interprets it as evidence of personal insufficiency.
Kierkegaard's concept of anxiety as 'the dizziness of freedom' predates Freud's psychological framework by roughly 60 years, yet modern research has since validated his core claims about commitment and identity.
Between 2003 and 2020, Americans accumulated roughly 24 extra hours per month spent alone — the equivalent of a part-time job's worth of isolation, and that's before the pandemic.
Median age at first marriage climbed from 21 (women) and 23 (men) in the 1970s to nearly 29 (women) and 30 (men) today — a rise of 6–8 years per gender, extending the 'emerging adulthood' liminal phase.
San Francisco's average rent rose 18% over the past two years to $3,728/month, surpassing New York City as the most expensive rental market in the country.
